blue gnome and floating Buddha
at opposite ends
watching over my rocks
watching over my deck of cards
initiating sight
liberating insight
guardians of my mindful treasures
miners of visionary ventures
mindful of my monkey mind
meditating on view
meditating on sunbeam
meditating on the new
meditating on birds, on flight
liberating insight
I’m in training—
my sensual indulgence enlightened
I take a deep breath, exhale a heavy sigh
rocks, green grass and songbirds are
daydream symphonies
golden rays seen squinting are
sunbeam philosophies
earth elemental immortal
pleasing to the nostrils
pleasing to the ear
pleasing to the eye
one eye
I’m in training—
shifting in my deck chair
adjusting my deck chair
stretching my feet
feeling the boards
blue and floating
